At Spenny Piggy, keeping our creators *safe* and our platform *secure* is a top priority.
We believe in full transparency about the small costs involved and why they exist. Let’s break it down:
Why We Have a Subscription for Creators
Stripe charges us **£4 per month** for each connected creator account.
This is a real cost we have to recover to keep Spenny Piggy running smoothly.
We’ve introduced a small monthly subscription for creators.
It’s not just about covering Stripe’s fee — it also helps us keep Spenny Piggy free from bots, fake profiles, and bad vibes.
Why We Require ID Verification
Security isn’t just a buzzword for us. It’s real.
We verify all creators through ID checks that cost us **£1.50 per verification**.
Before ID verification unlocks, creators must show a genuine social media presence.
This helps us avoid unnecessary costs from fake or failed profiles — and protects the platform for everyone.
Once your socials are reviewed and approved by our Admin Team, you’ll be able to ID verify and fully activate your profile to start receiving gifts and payments! 🎁💸
Why Gifters Have a £1 Card Verification
To keep creators protected and avoid fraud, every gifter must verify their card before they can make purchases.
- Gifters create an account and enter their billing address.
- Stripe charges a **£1 verification payment** (linked to their address).
- Our Admin Team manually checks that the address matches the card details.
- If it matches — boom, they’re approved and can spoil you freely.
- If it doesn’t match — they’ll need to verify again (each attempt costs £1).
These steps are crucial to prevent chargebacks, fake transactions, and payment disputes that could put Spenny Piggy at risk.
Why It Matters
We know it might sound like a lot.
But trust us — the extra work, the manual reviews, and the little fees are **worth it** to keep Spenny Piggy safe, strong, and open for creators for years to come.
Thanks for being part of a platform that’s built to spoil you — safely and securely. 🐷💖
